Dear Diary: No More Fresh Air Around My House And I Just Need To Fix The House

I just want my house to get renovated and I am a bit happy with my bathroom after it was painted by my father, he didn't do an excellent job but it is better than nothing. The installation of the exhaust fan worked nicely as it eliminated the build-up of steam inside the bathroom so it made my breathing better because of the constant stream of fresh air whilst using the bathroom.

But there are almost 90% work to be done around this house for it to be more liveable and presentable and safe for me and my parents. The terrace which was converted into a room that me and my brothers had used as our room before is now empty and not being used. I just want it to merge with my room so that my room here and my parents's room would get roomier.

I also want the front door to face the road so that we could have more room for the lounge area where the TV is located and it will mean that the dining area could get bigger. I also want the dining table to get bigger as well and I want it to get replaced with a rectangular-shaped table with a bench on the other side as chair to accommodate more people.

This house is a Patriarchal house which means my siblings and other relatives goes here from time to time so it needs to accommodate them especially in eating times. I just want us to eat sitting together and not like before or currently where others eat in the sofa or lounge area and others on the table while my parents eat the last to just make way fro the others.

That is only inside the house and I also want to fix the backyard as it looks like some homeless's guys temporary shelter with the corrugated roof blackened by my father's wood stove-cooking using a used oil as a fire starter. So what I want to do with it is to raise it's flooring which means pouring concrete on it because it is flooded during heavy rains now unlike before.

I also want it to get converted into a backyard lounge area where we can sleep for the that afternoon siesta and also eat there or even receive guests. The plan is to make a bamboo-made hut shelter with a long sitting area and a high roof to shieled us from the hot sun during daytime.

Basically this house needs total renovation because it is old already and the roof is dripping when it rains. I do not want to die before this house gets fixed because I do not think that my siblings have a plan to fix this house as they have priorities of their own. All my plans are just not happening if crypto prices won't recover so I am still just hoping that these plans of mine would get a realization soon. But my medical needs goes in first and that is the number one priority.

Sort:  

I applaud your desire to fix your house. You are making the right steps by identifying what you want to have done and then working on each piece as you are able. I am doing the same thing with my place.

Yes @lorreli this home is very old already and going down with flood during heavy rains unlike before.
